For the Greater Glory of Bidayuh Politics

Vote buying is the hot commodity of the day – I mean – before and during the election that was held last Saturday (April 16, 2011)!

In Belaga, the votes were reportedly swayed to the BalatNipu faction after its candidate granted the so-called “land grants” to the voters at the “eleventh hour”… It’s pathetic, though!

In Selangau, there’s a video showing a village headman who admittedly received a total of RM5K via two cheques; while another cheque amounting to RM5K wasn’t valid (yet)! We aren’t sure whether he would get the balance amount after “the exposé” was made known – internationally! Read this for details.

Lessons to be learnt?!

>>> Human identity and dignity are so cheap; i.e. ranging from RM10 to RM10K!

Aki Jus isn’t ready yet to step down as he’s still being loved by his supporters (just like the other two senile guys!), though we know that two factions exist within the party! And that would be good news for all!

L.O.L.!!!

We are lucky enough as we got alternative and yet interactive, social media like Facebook and weblogs! In late 1990s, we had websites and forums; and now we have weblogs, Twitter, Youtube and Facebook (which is far more popular than other social networking sites).

Well, we have enough lessons to be learnt actually, with the advancement of internetworking revolution – the free flow of real time information.

And that’s the asset – (in) keeping people well informed on anything surrounding them!

Yeah, right! “We lost the fight but not the war” – a very common phrase in describing the recent (election) defeat!

Of course, the defeat was already anticipated; just like what had happened to the SNAP President and his brood (and it’s pitiful, though)…

Such defeat can be summarized below:

some people still love that senile, ailing thief minister and current gomen to rule Sarawak – for the next 10 years (?!) or so;

these sort of people (the voters) are damn rich and can afford the high COLA;

winning and losing is the norm of the game, i.e. while that senile and ailing guy and his cronies are getting their accounts fatter (day by day) and enjoying the rich that life can offer, the common folks have to suck their thumbs and have to fork out their hard earned living to survive!

It’s pretty obvious that such defeat was also been contributed by the following factors:

I’m home and ready to exercise my rights and duty tomorrow! I also bought a piece of STABILO eraser – to be sliced into thinly pieces and shared among my buddies tonight. And these thinly pieces will then be recycled by giving it away to other voters tomorrow!

Well, I didn’t have a chance to attend any political rally in town; but then, the poster war among the warring factions is quite intense! Among the catchy phrases: “416*: Bye Bye Taib” and “Vote SUPP = Vote Taib”… Phew!

Guess what!? On the way back home this afternoon, I saw few contract workers were busying themselves putting up a SNAP banner! Kinda of “It’s now or never”, lah… Was it due to its low budget allocation?!

In the remote area, the campaign wasn’t really happening due to the presence of watchdogs! However, the warring factions do have its own way to entice potential voters into their camp! Yeah; vote buying is obvious and no one could argue on that!

I would say that the elders are very hard to accept change; meaning that “No money, no vote (for you)!” We – as the aware voters – should ask ourselves: Is money really matters to make up one’s mind?

And that’s political corruption!

The BalatNipu faction have to sponsor food and beverages; including promises and millions of Ringgit worth of projects to entice its potential voters. They did so as they knew (and still assume) that there are potential voters out there who are easily to be bought. Besides, gomen servants are also in dilemma; voting the opposition in means loss of income, promotion, allowances and other privy! Well, we can describe this situation (involving both BalatNipu and potential voters) as “selling their souls to the devil” lah!

Anyway, I’m not sure whether the opposition did the same. What I knew of is that whether it’s rain or sunshine, day time or night time, thousands of people attended its political gatherings – based on free will! Are these potential voters waiting for their political savior? It could be; but then, some of them could also be the BalatNipu spies…

The younger, educated generation – unlike their elders – are not prone to money politics! They do aware about their rights (including hardship); they are prone to change and ascribed to power-based politics!

Should the BalatNipu faction win this election tomorrow (night), I could assume that its win is due to election fraud (e.g. switching of original ballot boxes with the “crafted” ones)! And it’s up to the defeated faction to ask for vote recount – which is a must!

Well, I’m trying my best to canvass support from my buddies and other youngsters to cast their votes for opposition – till the eleventh hour – God willing! Whether it’s a win or lose game, that would be hard to tell…

So, happy voting, folks! Do bring your own, thinly sliced eraser and share it with other voters tomorrow! Who knows, the (eraser) sharing could be a blessing in disguise – where our state wealth could be shared equally by all ethnic groups found in Sarawak – in the near future!

We have been taught in school(s) to apply scientific approach in any problem solving. By applying it bit by bit, we would and could – hopefully – gain progressive and relevant results!

Take for example:

To rear “ikan Jabu” in a concrete pond, we do need the “technical know how” on project costing and management; water pH, water level, water hygiene, fish population control, type of fish feed, etc. etc. lah! And the thing also goes the same with rearing “anak manuk Nyarok”…

L.O.L.!!!

And the point is? Yeah; it’s all about application of scientific approach – observe, identify and record; so that we would and could get progressive and relevant results! Do watch this video – to augment our knowledge in applying the prescribed scientific approach…

As part of its psychological warfare strategies to win the minds of eligible voters, the former gomen has announced that it’ll build a railway (read these) along SCORE, i.e. connecting Similajau down to Tanjong Manis – at a “sama laju” pace?! We doubt it…

Anyway; did you smell something “fishy” about the proposed project?!

Yeah, right! It means more land grabbing for oil palms, coal and (silica) sand (including transportation (aluminium products included) to the port(s)) – just for the benefits of the few…

Phew!

And we don’t think that it would be profitable to build a railway just to transport people (and (sundry?) goods) to and fro along SCORE!

Tiyung Dayak a.k.a. Teddy a.k.a. Ted a.k.a. TD

Who is this Tiyung Dayak guy?!

Yes, I have appointed myself as a Blogotician prior to the 12th General Election, which was held all over Malaysia on March 08, 2008. And for the first time in Malaysian history since her independence from the Brits 50 years ago, 2/3 of BN majority has been denied by the opposition. Yes, thanks again to the advancement of ICT – the domain factor that has proves its effectiveness in this cyber war games, where blogs and blogging are the submain factors that has and ever will influence voters’ perception toward ineffective Malaysian leaders (and not just the ineffective Bidayuh leaders).

Since time immemorial (?!), the Malaysians have been denied the truth and most of the time they have been fed with true lies through the gomen-controlled mainstream media! Based on my random survey, it is safe for me to conclude that almost 85% of Malaysian population did not have access to the ICT. But then, there is hope for the better, especially among the young, educated Malaysians, as they are now the major force behind this IT Age Revolution, who are gradually aware about the importance of ICT and put in use in their daily life.

Yes, I hereby take an “e-oath” that I’ll be a responsible Blogotician and practice my rights to express my views freely (here and there!) for the betterment of the future of Bidayuh young ones…

In the name of “Hope for a Better Future” I swear, lah…

Disclaimer: Yes, correct! Come to know him (first) before you’ll love him (and NOT the other way round)… L.O.L.!!!

Nowadays, the internet technology is kept on changing and developing, and so are the internet users. Therefore, the Dayak internet users have to change and develop (their mindset), too!
